One Pillar Pagoda of Thu Duc

Ho Chi Minh City Region


Officially known as Nam Thien Nhat Tru, this Buddhist temple is often called the One Pillar Pagoda of Thu Duc. Modelled on Hanoi鈥檚 One Pillar Pagoda, the structure is similar but not identical, consisting of a small, one-room temple hall rising on a pillar above a pond, containing a multi-armed image of Quan Am, Goddess of Mercy. At the rear of the compound are tombs holding urns containing bones of monks and other Buddhist faithful.

The pagoda is 15km northeast of central HCMC. Traveller cafes and travel agencies in HCMC should be able to put together a customised tour to the pagoda or arrange a car and driver for you.
